Not just for ourselves of course. This time we have met with the team of Process Solutions. During an interactive presentation for an hour and a half we have investigated the concept of prejudice together, approaching it through the theme of homelessness.

We have also made sandwiches – with all the fixings, as is our habit – then together we have delivered them to the BMSZKI shelter at Dózsa György street.
The more than 150 servings of food came in handy, as the place serves as temporary accomodation and day and night shelter as well.

The extra piquancy of the story is that future plans have been started to brew between Process Solutions and BBM. The company would enter our + 1 sandwich program and they would involve the other workers in their office building as well. Who knows: maybe thanks to this initiative we can ensure breakfast and dinner for the people at the shelter every day?

For many, these two days mean the certainty of getting a nutritious meal, because on these two days, members of the Commando bring sandwiches made at the Budapest Bike Maffia HQ to the homeless people living in the streets. In January, a sum of 1993 sandwiches, more than 10 kilograms of fruit and 150 blankets were delivered to those living in the streets and to night warming centres and temporary shelters. While collecting blankets, we received a great deal of help from Biokeverékek Webshop, who will collect vitamins for those in need also during February. We would like to seize this opportunity to thank the volunteers for their contribution to making and delivering the sandwiches.

We await all those who are willing to help on Mondays and Thursdays at 6PM at the Bike Maffia headquarters: 1145 Budapest, Bosnyák utca 7/b (AZTA Közösségi Kézműves és Barkácsműhely

Schools have just had their mid-term assessments and we have also performed well: 17 711 sandwiches, 797 kgs of fruits, 411.5 kgs of preserved foods have been delivered to shelters since last September. These outstanding results are thanks to the generous contribution of people who are bringing charity food to schools every week for the benefit of those in need. It goes without saying that these students have passed the exam of solidarity and love with flying colors!

Would you like to know how the law that came into effect last autumn affects the daily lives of homeless people? Ask them in person! Do not hesitate to ask questions, leaf through their everydays, read a page of their lives. Unlike a regular library: here you can „borrow” not books but people. They can tell you firsthand how the law that came into effect last autumn affects them. The Living Library is a perfect opportunity to aid and strengthen our understanding and compassion towards one another.

At the event you can also view and purchase the MyBudapest 2019 calendar. You can meet and have a chat with the calendar’s creators, who will also be present.

No matter the deepening winter, no matter the frost and cold: our + 1 sandwich program is full steam ahead.
Kids can sense that this is the time of year when help is most needed, when life –sheer survival – is the hardest for many. The data of the first weeks proves that enhusiasm and compassion: with the kids’ help we have delivered 2795 sandwiches, 50 kg of fruits, 49 kg no-perishable food to the tables of homeless shelters.
Thank you for all the food that you provided, for your unbroken enthusiasm and the warmth of your hearts in this cold world!

We are going to continue in 2019 too!

2018 has ended and we can reveal that our +1 sandwich program will be going on in 2019 too! Based on the last two weeks data -2831 sandwich, 75 kg fruits, 65 kg non-perishable food – we can tell that children and parents took seriously the helper task even in the last days of the year. For example a parent from Derkovits Gyula Elementary School took himself the sandwiches to the people in need by bike. It is so good to see and feel that such a little sandwich means such a big help for those who can not really know what they are going to eat.

+ 1 sandwich + Santa Claus + Hungarian Christmas candy

There is no break even in the last weeks of the year: our +1 sandwich program continues! Santa Claus brought presents not only to children but, through them, to people living in homeless shelters. 3849 sandwiches, 124 kg of fruit, 60 kg of non-perishable food, and additionaly, 15 kg of Hungarian Christmas candy were not put in boots, but were given to people who were very happy with it. It is good to see before holiday season that the young people care about the homeless people as much as adults do.

+ 1 sandwich + 1 small kid + 1 big kid

Our +1 sandwich program continues! Two more weeks has passed and we can report record-breaking numbers: in the last 14 days 2439 sandwiches, 72 kg of fruit and 58 kg non-perishable food made it to the people in need. Kids big and small continue to do more and more each day to ensure that people living in homeless shelters have a better, happier day.

Our +1 Sandwich project keeps going! By bringing a good amount of food to their schools in the past two weeks, lots of enthusiastic students have supported homeless people living in shelters. Thanks to the kids’ support, many in need got to eat healthy and tasty. We are all thankful for their contribution!
Knowing that just one sandwich can make a difference, we have managed to collect 3732 sandwiches, 223 Kgs of fruits and 137,5 Kgs of non-perishable foods so far!

+1 sandwich +1 soap +1 school

With the new school year start we reloaded our +1 sandwich program! The core of the program is that on one specific day of the week children bring extra food with them for those who are in need. We have just started the current term but already 1853 sandwiches, 96 kg fruits and 71 kg perdurable food had been delivered to the homeless shelters through to the students. In addition to that, thanks to a supportive mother, +1 hand made soap were put into each packages. The program is so successful the some schools organize also the delivery to the shelters by themselves which makes us happy and we would like to say thanks for that also here!
